Information from rich visual signals and ongoing behavioral variables simultaneously drive the same neurons in the cortex without corrupting each other (Niell et al. 2010, Stringer et al. 2019, Shimaoka et al. 2019). How does the anatomical organization of the cortex support the joint coding of these streams of information? We hypothesized that stimulus-driven and non-stimulus activity follow different anatomical organizations in the visual cortex. To investigate the physical distribution of these signals, we used the Light Beads Microscope (LBM, Demas et al. 2021) to volumetrically image the
